Why the "uh oh", o welder o'dog?

Your posting history indicates a predilection for the inane; was I wrong to suspect appreciation was paired with it?
Yeah, I’m pretty restricted to the inane, because I don’t know as much about wrestling as you other guys, but I still want to participate! 😀 The “uh oh” was just a red flag regarding “sixth grade”. It was a good roast if everyone is cool and likes each other, but it has the danger to get us into back-and-forth name calling or meta discussion about good versus bad posting, which tends to be boring and inane, in the way that this post is a meta-discussion that is boring and inane . 😀

“It’s like a finger pointing to the sky. Don’t look at the finger, or you will miss the heavenly glory.” Discussion of good vs bad posting is discussion of the finger. Which Bruce Lee’s character warned against.

This is a 6th grade retort.

"Myopic" was a 12th-grade word usage, but you stumbled backward with this lame ole saw.
Of course it was. I had to make sure that I could communicate on your comfort level. Thanks for your contribution. You are the human equivalent of a participation trophy.

In other wrestler ➡️ MMA news, former Fresno State AA Josh Hokit is apparently making some noise.

I train with 3 guys who had a cup of tea in the NFL. One of them is a monster (https://byucougars.com/sports/football/roster/player/handsome-tanielu) who's been involved in MMA since he was in diapers, but his wife would kill him if he ever stepped foot in a cage.

Not sure where to put this but Gable just booked his first mma fight
I’m anxiously awaiting his tryouts for the Blue Man Group after flaming out in MMA

IMO his foray into MMA will be short. Will be interesting to see how he deals with striking as he'll have a significant length disadvantage against most top heavyweights.

DC did as well and he was quite successful. Gable could be great but I doubt he will put in the work

DC and Couture are the two exceptions in UFC history who generally had length disadvantages yet were very successful at heavyweight. Gable is a different level athletically than either of those two, but he hasn't shown the mindset/resilience that made them legends.

Henry Cejudo did not seem to show a good mindset, based on the news coverage, after he won the Olympics. I got the feeling that he thought he could just live off the gold medal. At some point, he decided he wanted to do MMA, and buckled down. Maybe (hopefully) a similar decision to dedicate to a goal can happen for Steveson.

Athletically, Steveson certainly had the goods to be the GOAT. How he moves, agility, his explosiveness and pure strength; he's on a different level than any heavy I've ever seen. But, he doesn't seem to be committed to anything.

there are a few past heavy's he wouldn't beat! when he said he wasn't training hard for NCAA just another reason not to pick him for best last 25 yrs!

Whether he would beat them and pure athletic ability are two different things.

It’s never a good sign when so many criticize a guys inconsistent effort. You’d not hear that about Zain, Nolf, or a bunch of other multiple time champs. Talent wise the guy is tops, but, some superior athletes just don’t have the raw desire to do what’s required off the mat. Kinda a shame as we could all have seen a GOAT.

He's an Olympic champ, which is something Zain, Nolf, and a bunch of other multiple time champs haven't accomplished.

So this isn't really a matter of not having raw desire or commitment or consistent effort or focus or discipline or whatever we want to call it. It's a matter of us imposing our goals on him as if they're his goals, and then being disappointed in him when he doesn't fulfill our goals.

Gable looked good in his debut. Could use some stand up striking work, but his takedowns at that size are elite.
